Heart related diseases mainly caused by heavy work load and increasing stress in human daily life. Therefore, researches on mobile healthcare monitoring for daily life has been carried out. Notably, wearable healthcare monitoring system which has least restriction has been tried to provide an emergency alert of abnormal heart rate. In this study, we developed chair type unconstrained BCG measurement system which able to perform continuous heart status monitoring at the office and daily life in the unconstrained way. Furthermore, adaptive threshold is used to detect the heart rate from BCG signals. The HRV(heart rate variability) is calculated from heart rate interval. ECG signal measured using conventional method and BCG signal measured using unconstraint system are carried out simultaneously for the purpose of performance evaluation. From the comparison result, BCG signal shows a similar heart beat characteristic as ECG signal. This proves the possibility of practical implementation of unconstraint healthcare monitoring system. In addition, medical examination like valsalva maneuver is performed to observe the changes in HRV due to stress. By performing valsalva maneuver, heart is said to be placed under an artificial physical stress condition. Under this artificial physical stress condition, the time and frequency domain of HRV parameters are evaluated.

Nowadays a disaster event such as a building on fire, an earthquake or typhoon could occur any time, and any where. In such event, a warning notification system is a vital tool to send warning notifications to at-risk people in advance and provide them useful information to escape the dangerous area. Though some systems have been proposed such as emergency alert system using android, SMS or P2P overlay network, these works mainly focus on a reliable message distribution methods. In this work, we introduce a full prototype implementation of a personalized warning notification system based on geosocial information, which generates a personalized warning message for each user and delivers the messages through email or an android application. The system consists of four main modules: a web interface, database, a knowledge-based message generator, and message distributor. An android application is also created for user to receive warning messages on their smart phone. The prototype has been demonstrated successfully with a building-on-fire scenario.

This paper proposes a detection system that, by determining whether a dangerous act is being carried out among other pedestrians in the images captured using CCTV, provides pre-warnings and establishes emergency measures. To determine the presence of a dangerous act, after setting zones of interest and danger zones within those zones of interest, the danger level is determined in accordance with the range of encroachment upon detecting an object. Especially, this research aims at detecting a suicide jump from the bridge and extends to detecting a dangerous act among pedestrians from detecting a dangerous act of only one person with no one in the previous research. This system classifies the status into 3 levels as safe, alert, and danger according to the amount of part being over the bridge railing. If a situation is deemed as warning-worthy and emergency, the integrated control center is immediately alerted to facilitate prevention in advance.

지상파 디지털멀티미디어방송(T-DMB)을 이용하여 국지적인 재난경보 방송을 실시하고 있지만 산간오지 등과 같은 전파 음영 지역에는 시설 투자의 한계로 서비스가 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 무선 마을 방송 시스템은 ISM 밴드 주파수를 사용하고 있으며 마을 방송용으로 주파수를 제한하여 간섭영향이 상대적으로 적은 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 T-DMB 재난 방송을 기존 무선 마을 방송 시스템의 장점을 이용하여 산간오지의 댁내까지 방송 가능한 시스템을 제안하였다. 재난 발생시 T-DMB 특수 수신기의 재난 방송 출력 신호를 무선 마을 방송 송신기와 복수의 댁내 무선 수신기를 통하여 방송 가능한 구조이며 T-DMB 수신기와 무선 방송 송신기간에는 접점 인터페이스를 통하여 정확한 시퀀스 제어가 필요하다. 무선 마을 방송 시스템은 UHF 대역의 ISM 밴드 무선 주파수를 이용하여 오지산간 지역의 부락에 적합한 특성을 갖고 있다. 장애물로 인한 장거리 전송의 한계는 무선 중계기를 이용하여 커버리지를 확장 가능하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 T-DMB 재난 방송을 재송신하는 수단으로 ISM 밴드와 연동할 경우 방송 음영지역 해소 및 재난 방송 수신율이 개선되어 국지적 재난에 대한 대국민 인명과 재산보호에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Recent studies on a fusion of health care system and the information and communication technology of wearable is being developed Anytime and anywhere without being constrained to measure the biological information of the user. However existing wearable monitors the measured biological information. If the user is hard to deal with for the event of dangerous situations. In this paper, it proposes a system that identifies the status of a user to correct the problem it utilizes sensors and algorithms to measure the biological information. This enables the user will be able to respond quickly to dangerous situations. In the event of a dangerous situation, such as falling or stumbling sends an emergency alert to a designated guardian.

In this paper, we developed u-Care service system using technologies of USN and LBS to help construct social welfare infrastructure and social safety net for lone seniors and handicapped people. This service not only monitors the in-house and outdoor activities of those disabled people but also sends the messages, whenever abnormal behaviors are detected, to the people related to them as well as the social welfare organizations and public safety institutions such as police and emergency services and etc in order to alert them.

In this paper, a system for wake-up method for T-DMB AEAS is introduced. Wake-up function is important in emergency alert service. But there was no AEAS receiver that has the method. Google C2DM is efficient method for wake-up in android platform. So this paper suggests wake-up method in android smartphone with T-DMB by C2DM. This method will be an alternative plan until native broadcasting wake-up technology.

People generally believe that disaster forecast and warning systems and response systems are well established in the age of cutting edge technology. As a matter of fact, reliable systems to respond to disasters are not properly equipped, as we witnessed the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014. The existing forecast and warning systems are based on sensor information with low efficiency, and image information is only operated by monitoring staff manually. In addition, the interconnection between a warning system and a response system in order to decide how to cope with the recognized disaster is very insufficient. This paper introduces the CCTV based disaster recognition and real time crisis response system composed of the CCTV image recognition engine and the crisis response technique. This system has brought the possibility to overcome the limitations of existing sensor based forecast and warning systems, and to resolve the problems in the absence of monitoring staff when responding to crisis.

The main purpose of 1-1-9 Caller Location Information System is to identify and display the precise location of emergency incidents such as natural or man - made fires, medical emergencies and accidents. The state - of- the - art technologies such as Am (Automatic Number Identification), GIS(Geographical Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) were applied and integrated in the system for efficient and effective location identification. It displays a radius of 25M, 50M and 100M on the map after location identification. The system can also provide the shortest path to an incident location from a fire station or a fire engine. In case of a fire breakout in or near a building, the attribute information of the building, called a building attribute card, is displayed along with the map location. The system then matches the information with the fire situation and sends an alert to a responsible fire station by phone or fax in order to help promptly react to the problem. An attribute card includes the critical information of a premise such as building's location, number of stories, floor plans, capacity, construction history, indoor fire detection and Prevention facilities, etc.

Current terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) is conducting the emergency alert broadcast, or can view a variety of broadcasting. However, propagation shadow area is a situation where the service is limited due to limitations of facilities investment. In addition, there is the problem of T-DMB broadcasting is for viewing only a restricted area and a mobile device because the mobile is also T-DMB viewing device impossible. In this paper, it receives a T-DMB broadcasting as a way to solve the problems of the T-DMB system, which was studied the re transmission to the mobile device. Accordingly, by receiving the broadcast may be watched in the mobile device the T-DMB reception impossible. Also provides a one-way/two-way authentication mechanism using a conditional access function, and the system was configured so that the user can watch only the registered broadcasting.
